We’re Licensed! Here’s why…

Music licensing is important…it confirms, financially, the rights owned by creators and copyright holders to do what they wish with music and be compensated thusly. We at RTDS are completely in favour of paying creators and owners for the use of their works, as we are a music discovery service at our core, playing works that people need to hear.

We are licensed to SOCAN’s Tariff 22f and Re:Sound’s Tariff 8, which ensure our usage of copyrighted material compensates these rights holders WORLDWIDE, as both of these agencies have reciprocal agreements with partner agencies across the globe.

Pirate radio has come a long way…we may view ourselves as radio pirates in one sense, but morally we do the right thing, and so should ALL music services!

We believe in music licensing, so should YOU!

socanWe believe artists need to be fairly compensated for their work, as a lot of us here at RTDS are songwriters and artists too!  That’s why we voluntarily approached SOCAN to ask to be licensed, and we’ve been licensed since!  We’re also a licensed ASCAP, BMI, SESEC and SoundExchange network.  We believe all other internet radio stations should be licensed too – not only is it morally the right thing to do, it’s also the legal thing to do.  Be legal – pay for the music you play.

From RTDS and all the artists we play, we thank you sincerely for supporting our mission of bringing you one of the deepest libraries on the planet, B sides, one hit wonders, albums tracks and vital new indie music.
